   When I made the decision to get some help to come out of a very dark place with my life spiralling, I could not have imagined the impact Mark would have on my life. He has, in a very short time, managed to turn my life around. A bit of context to where I was before therapy with Mark. My relationship with my girlfriend at the time was pretty much finished and that was the last straw, causing me to spiral further into a pretty dark place. I was trying to handle the passings of my brother, foster mum and foster brother that all occurred in the space of 5 months, just about 2 years ago. I was still grieving but wasn’t accepting that was the case. I thought that was kind of done or super strong mentally as it hadn’t hit home fully. I thought I was functioning fairly well in general and strangely in a kind of autopilot mode, where I wasn’t really living life, nothing planned or to look forward to just existing really. I wasn’t happy nor sad or satisfied with life at all. Mark’s experience, ability to question and ascertain what was really going on, sense of humour, honesty and openness have all greatly contributed to me getting back to my best. And yet I still have a way to go but thanks to Mark, I am looking forward to the challenges ahead with great confidence and positivity knowing that I have great support when I need it.

   I have been having conversations with Mark at varying frequencies for a handful of years now. These started as counselling in a tough period in my life, and over time have developed into life and work coaching. I have no doubt that our conversations have been key in overcoming personal issues, achieving professional development and success in my career. I would highly recommend Mark to anyone who is looking for somebody to help them achieve their goals.

   Mark has been brilliant with me. He made things sound simple and spoke to me in a manner that made complete sense in terms of the issues in my life. He gave me real tangible advice that i can use anytime, anywhere. I would recommend Mark to anybody who is confused or going through challenging situations. We even spoke about future goals and ambitions which i really enjoyed.

   I have enjoyed working with Mark. His insights have helped me understand myself and others. He’s given me enough awareness to adapt my behaviour. I am less critical of myself and others, have a much more positive/hopeful outlook. These things have made me more effective and less frustrated which has been noticed and appreciated by my colleagues. I feel I left each meeting with another piece of the puzzle and something small to put into action. When we started it felt like I was taking baby steps, but I have come a long way. My struggles are not over, but I now have understanding and tools to help. Thank you Mark, your assistance is appreciated by me and my family.

   I have worked with Mark for around three years now and I can thoroughly recommend him. His IMPACT model can help with many aspects of modern life and he has been a trusted confidante and advisor as I have navigated the decisions & challenges related to a couple of recent job changes. He continually helps me to view things in a more positive way and provide a different perspective on a number of important decisions. He has been extremely helpful in helping me find improved focus & productivity in my job, as well as long-term life and retirement planning. I always come away after every meeting with something useful.

   Mark is so much more than a coach/therapist. At our first meeting, he asked me something along the lines of what I wanted/didn't want from the process, and one of the things I said was "please don't keep asking me 'how I feel' about xyz" - because that had been my prior experience elsewhere. I wanted to work with someone who would challenge my thinking and keep me future-focussed rather than dwell on feelings, and Mark certainly didn't let me down. Working with him has empowered me to make changes in my business(es), and start stepping away from what was holding me back. He has helped me to understand and acknowledge the causes of various issues, but instead of raking over the past - you can't change it - he has helped me to identify, use and strengthen my natural skills and resources to build confidence from the starting point of 'now'. He has given me life skills that have been, and will continue to be, invaluable in business - dealing with difficult working relationships, challenging the strategy, and building my boundaries. In particular, his understanding of setting up and growing a business made me feel like I had an ally, in a self-employment situation that can be difficult to fully empathise with if you don't have that experience. Mark's IMPACT model has been especially helpful in giving me a framework to understand what's happening and why. I highly recommend Mark as an insightful, proactive and empathic coach who helps make sense of things by understanding your situation and then expertly applying the right balance of challenge and support.

   Quite simply, Mark has changed my life. Over the last 15 months, his IMPACT model has completely surpassed my expectations. It has helped me to manage multiple situations through to positive outcomes, and he continues to work with me at our regular sessions. I can't thank Mark enough for his ongoing support, perspective and reassurance. He is personable, professional and an expert in his field.

   Before starting the programme, I knew I had to change I just didn’t know how or what it would look like. I went round and round in circles, never really getting anywhere. Mark helped me to look at all areas of my life, he helped me to identify where I most wanted to change and he gently challenged and coached me to make those changes. Now I can honestly say I feel happy, genuinely happy, the kind of happy that makes you feel light and see the good things in life. It wasn’t about looking back but about moving forward. A step-by-step guide to making life altering changes to create the life I desired. Its so nice to feel life in balance instead of it being a constant battle. Mark has been the catalyst for this change, he has helped me to get to a place where change was just the natural progression. Life’s not 100% perfect but I know how to better deal with it when it’s not. Mark really cares and wants to help, the course set a lot of wheels in motion all centred around valuing myself. The great thing about the conversations we have is that he always gives me perspective, leaves me feeling positive and gives me something to think about. I am so grateful for his support, guidance and help.

   Mark is an excellent Therapist. He brought me from a point of tragic low self esteem to a state of reflective confidence which I can never thank him enough for. I have had therapy sessions with Mark for over a year now and I feel that every session brings with it more well being as I strengthen my core sense of self. Lovely guy, engaging encounters, I'm going to continue using his knowledge to help progress and I know there's loads more to come.
